RADIOACTIVE LEAKS IN ILLINOIS
JAMES GLASGOW, WILL COUNTY STATE'S LAWYER: It reminded me of a Homer Simpson episode that I saw where Homer worked at the local reactor and would put his jelly doughnut on the control panel. It's that bad.
ELIZABETH BRACKETT, NewsHour Correspondent: What Jim Glasgow says is that bad is the way Exelon Corporation handled the leaking of at least six million gallons of water containing radioactive tritium from its Braidwood plant in Braceville, Illinois.

Thanks to taxes it's expensive in CO, $15 - $16 per 5.29 oz. can. But in NM it's only $9 a can at the Indian Cultural Center. Since I have friends that I must visit there I bought about fifteen cans. Enough to last 'til I can go back, hopefully. Strangely it was only $9 p. can in VT when I lived there.
I know it's pricey compared to what you're buying but it's worth it. Pure tobacco. A can lasts me a week or more so it's still wayyyyy cheaper than tailor-mades.
In the "old days" ('93-'98) I bought it two pounds at a time by UPS and it was less than half the price it is in cans now. They stopped selling it that way. 8(
Poor kid.
That's so sad.
Yep and MS-13 linked to al Qaida.
Targets!
We all read about the 5 ton cocaine bust in Mexico last week.
Now for the rest of the story....
(snippets)
But it gets even more convoluted. The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) register has got some information about the N900SA DC9-15 seized in Mexico. As a matter of public record, as of April 13 2006 -that is the day before yesterday, the plane was deregistered in the USA and "exported" to Venezuela. This is a nice lead to DEA and international law enforcement agencies, isn't it? Who bought the plane? Who paid for it? Who exported it to Venezuela?
Equally interesting is the fact that Royal Sons Inc., the last known owner, is cited as one of the 20 largest unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 Petition Date of June 14, 2005 (Bankruptcy Case No.: 05-11953) filed by SWYC. Moreover Royal Sons Inc. allegedly had or has an office in Venice airport in Florida:
ROYAL SONS INC. used to be (or is also) working from VENICE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, where convicted Dutch fraudster Rudi Dekker’s Huffman Aviation trained some of the 9-11 hijackers. (small world after all)

Convict pleads guilty in 'Nigerian letter' scam
SPOKANE, Washington
A convict accused of bilking a woman of $454,000 (euro370,550) through a get-rich-quick scheme known as a "Nigerian Letter" has pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy, federal prosecutors said.
Terry Ayeni, 43, a Nigerian citizen already serving a 46-month federal prison sentence for a similar case of fraud, pleaded guilty last week in U.S. District Court here to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, U.S. Attorney James McDevitt said in a statement.
When sentenced July 7, Ayeni faces a five-year prison term and $250,000 (euro204,050) fine and could be ordered to make restitution. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Rice said Tuesday that Ayeni likely would receive a much shorter sentence and then be deported.......

Update:
LA Woman Hospitalized With Bubonic Plague

LOS ANGELES
A woman was hospitalized earlier this month with bubonic plague, the first confirmed human case in Los Angeles County in more than two decades, health officials said Tuesday.
The woman, who was not identified, was admitted April 13 with a fever, swollen lymph nodes and other symptoms. A blood test confirmed she had contracted the bacterial disease. The woman was placed on antibiotics and is in stable condition, officials said.
Bubonic plague is not contagious, but if left untreated it can morph into pneumonic plague, which can be spread from person to person. Bubonic plague is usually transmitted to humans from the bites of fleas infected by dead rodents.
Health officials suspect the woman was exposed to fleas in her central Los Angeles home, said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, the county's director of public health. The woman's family was also placed on antibiotics as a precaution, but there's no evidence they were infected.
The case is unusual because it occurred in an urban area, Fielding said. Most bubonic plague outbreaks happen in rural communities.
Health officials said there was no cause for panic because the disease is not easily transmissible.
"There's no cause for alarm in the community," Fielding said.
Health officials went to the woman's home Monday to trap squirrels and other wild animals. Blood samples from the animals will be sent to a lab to determine if any are infected.
An estimated 10 to 20 Americans contract plague each year, mostly in rural communities. About one in seven cases is fatal, according to federal statistics.
The last human cases of plague in Los Angeles County occurred in 1984 when three people contracted the disease. Two of those cases were travel-related and the third involved a person exposed to a sick animal. All three survived.
Bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe between 1346 and 1351. The last major urban outbreak in the U.S. occurred in Los Angeles in 1924-25, when at least 30 people died.
In California, bubonic plague is prevalent among squirrels in the Angeles National Forest and other parks. Health officials regularly warn campers and hikers to take precaution against the disease by avoiding infected animals.
The plague is considered a bioterrorism agent and state law requires that doctors report suspected cases to local health departments.

'Seventy More Attacks Coming,' Islamic Jihad Says
Islamic Jihad, which claimed responsibility for Monday's suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, said the attack was the first of 70 such attacks it plans to wage against Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported. While Hamas refused to condemn the attack - calling it a "natural response to Israel's recent actions against the Palestinians" - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas did condemn it and urged the international community to intervene.

The triumvirate that muffles the moderate Muslims
By Abukar Arman
The charges have been loud and vociferous, and sometimes even outlandish. “There is no such thing as moderate Muslims;” “they are dangerous sleeper cells;” “they are in cahoots with the extremists and as such are themselves a ticking bomb;” and my personal favorite, “they have the sudden Jihadist syndrome,” or perhaps the capacity to combust, as in spontaneous human combustion.

Thanks for the update Lion!
But- earlier this month ?!
Yep.
That was today!:-)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""I've talked to a lot of pilots who tell me there are places on airplanes where the deicing equipment doesn't cover," David Travis, a climatologist at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater, told the San Francisco paper."
OPINION: Watching the Calif. news every night; I speculate that it probably is coming from a plane -- deliberately and/or accidentally. That's only my humble, non-scientific opinion, though.
You're welcome JP.
Ditto, really tugs at your heart strings.
Yep, that's interesting.
Small world.
